Looking for a nice gift this Valentine’s Day? Try adopting a Cockroach in your Ex’s name!

Don't let Valentine's Day bug you! The San Francisco Zoo’s new fundraising campaign offers an opportunity to adopt a hairy scorpion or hissing cockroach in honor of your ex.

The zoo has started a program to adopt hissing cockroaches and scorpions

and name them after their former lovers.

According to the zoo’s promotion:

“So the latest affair didn't work out and given your ex's record-breaking ability to move on, you suspect foul play. Well, nothing soothes the sting like the adoption of a giant hairy scorpion in honor of your former beloved. It's no surprise, these invertebrates are aggressive, active, and alarmingly nocturnal. Much like your low-life ex, they are usually found in and around low-elevation valleys where they dig elaborate burrows or "caves."

The prices range from $25 to $1,000, with all donations benefiting the Zoological Society.

The donation does not include any real-life vermin, just a certificate of adoption and, either, a stuffed-toy scorpion or a heart-shaped box filled with plastic cockroaches.

The zoo will send the owner of their newly adopted namesake a certificate of adoption as well as a few plastic cockroaches or a plush scorpion, just a small reminder of what type of person they really are. All proceeds of your purchase will go to supporting the zoo, as they promise “release your bad love life karma”.

For those feeling especially wronged by a heart-trampling ex, the zoo also gives the option of having a notification sent to the person behind the heartbreak.

'We can't make any promises, but urban legend says that the gift of a scorpion adoption serves as permanent protection against future romantic stings. Let the healing begin,' the donation page said.
